Dell 407-BCDU Compatible Dual-Rate 1G/10G SFP+ SR Transceiver

EdgeOptic's 407-BCDU compatible is a Dell-coded dual-rate 1G/10G version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 multi-vendor SFP+ transceiver. The Dell EEPROM identifies the optic as a recognized accessory on Dell PowerSwitch platforms, so the line card accepts the module on the SFP+ port without a vendor-mismatch warning. One universal SR hardware platform, 80+ vendor codes, including this Dell variant. Dell documents 407-BCDU as a dual-rate 1G/10G optic on the official product listing: the same physical module carries 1000BASE-SX at 1.25 Gbps and 10GBASE-SR at 10.3125 Gbps, selected per port by the PowerSwitch software configuration.

Optical specifications, 10GBASE-SR class with 1000BASE-SX dual-rate operation. 850 nm VCSEL transmitter, PIN photodiode receiver, multi-mode duplex LC. Reach is 300 m on OM3 and 400 m on OM4 at 10GBASE-SR. TX output power runs −5 to 0 dBm, receiver sensitivity −11.1 dBm, receiver overload 0 dBm, link budget 6.1 dB. Multi-rate scope spans 1.25 to 11.32 Gbps, covering 10G Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, 1G to 10G Fibre Channel, and STM-64. DDM/DOM is supported. Compliance: SFF-8431, SFP MSA, IEEE 802.3ae, RoHS, IEC60825-1 Class 1 laser safety. Operating range 0 to 70°C commercial.

407-BCDU is the Dell part number for the dual-rate 1G/10G short-reach SFP+ shipped with Dell PowerSwitch S5200 and S4100 series, where an SFP+ port may need to terminate either a Gigabit Ethernet drop or a 10G uplink depending on the customer service. The Dell EEPROM coding lets the optic register cleanly during port-up. Verify the exact PowerSwitch model and Dell OS release against Dell's Networking Optics specification document at quote stage, since SFP+ accessory support varies by line card and software.

Dell ships several 407-prefixed 10GBASE-SR short-reach SFP+ part numbers. The 407-BCDU is the dual-rate 1G/10G variant; the adjacent 407-BBVJ and 407-BBOU part numbers are 10GBASE-SR single-rate optics for the same multimode fiber plant but without the 1000BASE-SX dual-rate capability. Order the suffix that matches the original BOM line item, since the Dell EEPROM coding differs and the variants are not interchangeable on every PowerSwitch model.
